The Chongqing Major offered us esports fans one week of excitement! 16 super teams from across the globe completed in China for the title of the season. It was definitely a league to be remembered when the old rivals Team Secret and Virtus.pro faced off yet again in the finale. Here’s a quick recap of what happened.

The Major

The Chongqing Major was the second Major of the 2018/19 season for StarLadder. The prize pool was USD $1M and Pro Circuit Points (PCP) 15,000 in total.

The Venue

The event was held at BLOOMAGE Cultural and Sports Center in Banan, Chongqing, which was officially opened in September last year. The comprehensive stadium has a maximum capacity of 16,000 people.

The Final Game
Team Secret wanted the win to get revenge after losing to VP in the finals at Kuala Lumpur Major. Eventually, Team Secret came out victorious with a 3-1 score against VP, winning the Chongqing Major title and successfully claimed the $350,000 top prize as well as 4,950 DPC points that go with it.

The top twelve teams with the highest Dota Pro Circuit point totals will receive direct invites to The International 2019.

Both VP’s and Team Secret are qualified to for The International 2019. Team Secret qualifies for The International 2019 with this win while VP was already qualified with their win in the Kuala Lumpur Major.
